“I don’t see anything wrong in it. If for instance, my account was frozen, what would I do? All I would do is go back to court to explain.

“Even politicians, their accounts are sometimes frozen. You have to go to court and explain. And at the end of the day, the court will say, leave the account, the account should be de-frozen and you take your money back.

“If your account is frozen, you justify why the money was there. You come to explain to what use you have put this money.” he said.

You will recall that promoters of the End SARS protest who were mostly influential people in Nigeria got their accounts frozen for their involvement in the protest.
